Sewer lines are just as susceptible to issues like clogs, leaks, cracks, or bursts as regular indoor pipes. However, their underground location prevents visual inspection to identify the root cause. In such cases, a video inspection of the sewer lines is the best solution.

Ben’s Plumbing offers professional sewer line video inspections for residential and commercial properties throughout the greater Seattle area. If you suspect issues with your sewer line or require routine maintenance, we are the premier plumbing company to call for comprehensive sewer video inspection services.

What Is A Sewer Video Inspection?

It is a specialized technique used to detect and diagnose plumbing issues within your underground sewer line. By inserting a waterproof camera into the pipes, our skilled technicians can capture live footage that provides a clear view of the sewer line’s condition.

Through this plumber camera inspection process, we can identify the precise location and nature of any problems, such as clogs, leaks, or structural damage. This assessment allows us to recommend the most appropriate and targeted solution to address the issue.

With a Ben’s Plumbing video inspection services, you can proactively address plumbing concerns and safeguard the long-term integrity of your property’s sewer system.

How Does the Video Inspection Process Work?

A comprehensive sewer line video inspection involves several key steps that allow our experienced technicians to thoroughly assess the condition of your underground plumbing infrastructure:

Preparation and Access: First is to determine the optimal entry point for the camera inspection. Our plumbers can insert the camera through a cleanout, toilet removal, or any other accessible entry point in your system.

Post-Inspection Assessment: Armed with the insights gathered from the video inspection, our team can then recommend the most appropriate repairs or maintenance solutions to address the identified problems. We also retain a recording of the inspection for future reference.

Video feed: The camera transmits a real-time video feed, which is projected on a monitor for our technicians to closely examine. This footage provides a clear, detailed view of the interior condition of the sewer line.

Problem Identification: By closely analyzing the video, our experts can identify any issues present within the pipes, such as cracks, breaks, clogs, or tree root intrusion. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the problem.

Insertion of the Camera: Our technicians will carefully insert a special waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod. This rod is designed to navigate the bends and turns in the pipes.

In addition to problem identification, our high-quality video inspection services can determine the depth and precise physical location of any obstructions or issues within the sewer line. This comprehensive assessment enables us to develop targeted, effective solutions to prevent future problems.

By leveraging the power of video inspections, our plumbing professionals can provide you with a detailed, actionable understanding of your underground plumbing system, allowing us to keep it functioning optimally for years to come.

What Are The Benefits Of A Video Inspection?

As a home or business owner, regularly scheduling a video camera sewer inspection can provide invaluable insights into the condition of your underground pipe lines. These specialized inspections, conducted by the experts at Ben’s Plumbing, offer numerous benefits to ensure your plumbing system remains in optimal condition.

Special video cameras can offer a clear picture of the health of your sewer line. As a homeowner, it is beneficial for you to get a video camera sewer inspection once in a while to ensure your drain lines are free-flowing. Here are some other benefits of engaging the experts at Ben’s Plumbing for a sewer line video inspection:

Accurate Diagnosis of Plumbing Issues

Sewer line problems such as breaks, leaks, clogs, and tree root intrusion are often hidden from view, making it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. However, a comprehensive plumbing camera inspection can reveal the precise location and nature of any issues, allowing our skilled technicians to develop a targeted repair plan.

Non-invasive Approach

Unlike traditional methods that may involve extensive digging, a video inspection is a non-invasive process. By inserting a specialized camera into the sewer line, we can gather detailed information without causing unnecessary damage to your property, reducing the need for costly restoration work.

Cost Effective Solutions

The video inspection process is not only non-invasive but also highly cost-effective. By accurately identifying the problem and avoiding unnecessary excavation, we can provide solutions that save you money in the long run, compared to more disruptive traditional inspection techniques.

Informed Property Evaluation

If you are considering buying a home, a video sewer inspection can be an invaluable tool. By assessing the condition of the underlying plumbing infrastructure, you can make an informed decision about the property and budget for any necessary repairs or replacements.

Time-Saving Convenience

Compared to other methods, a video inspection is a faster and more efficient process. Our experienced technicians can quickly gather the necessary data, allowing us to promptly diagnose and address any issues.

Preventive Maintenance

Regular video inspections can help you stay ahead of potential problems, enabling early detection and prevention of costly plumbing emergencies. This proactive approach is particularly beneficial for older homes, where regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of the sewer system.

Cost of Plumbing Camera Inspection

The national average cost to run a camera through a sewer line is $266-$550. The sewer camera inspection cost in Seattle can depend on a number of factors including the length of the sewer line and the complexity of the piping.

Once you contact us to schedule a sewer video inspection, our team will first assess your specific needs and requirements. Our pricing is designed to be fair and accessible for all residential and commercial customers in the Greater Seattle, Eastside and surrounding areas.

Can You Do A Sewer Video Inspection On Your Own?

While this procedure can provide valuable insights into the condition of your underground plumbing, attempting to perform this task on your own can be extremely challenging and come with significant limitations:

Conducting a comprehensive sewer video inspection requires the use of specialized, professional-grade equipment that is not typically available to homeowners. This includes the waterproof camera, flexible rod, and monitoring system.

Properly operating the video inspection equipment and maneuvering the camera through the pipe system requires a high level of technical and plumbing expertise. A misstep during the process could result in damage to the equipment or the pipes themselves.

Interpreting the video footage and accurately diagnosing any issues within the sewer line requires extensive plumbing knowledge and experience. Without the proper training, homeowners may struggle to identify the root cause of problems.

Undertaking a sewer video inspection is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Homeowners often lack the necessary time, tools, and expertise to carry out this task effectively.

Given the complexities involved, it is strongly recommended to entrust this process to the trained professionals at Ben’s Plumbing. Our experienced technicians are equipped with the specialized equipment and industry-leading expertise required to thoroughly assess the condition of your underground plumbing system and provide comprehensive, reliable solutions.

"Really nice people, from the office to the field. Our engineer was super helpful and got the repair done quickly, including a trip to the hardware store to get the right part for our quirky old house. I’m bummed that we used a “name brand” service on our recent sewer project - wish I had know about"

Ben is always the guy I want on the job, and for the past couple years he's been quick, responsive, and a professional at the work I've needed him to get done for me. He's the local guy that always has your best interest in mind - for example this last testing work he did, he noticed that whoever performed my last sprinkler testing forgot to turn the system back on! He truly caught & made a life-saving fix for us, which shows his professional knowledge and attention to what's going on around him. Thanks again for the great work and conversation, Ben, see you next year I hope!

"We've turned to Ben's Plumbing/HD Partners several tines and will be coming back whenever we have a plumbing issue. Ben and Brian were both extremely helpful, professional and skilled and were both obviously concerned with providing value and keeping us informed of the tradeoffs in every decision"

I have used Ben's plumbing for all of my plumbing needs for the past few years. Finally decided to have a shower head upgrade and replace the disposal with our most recent visit. It's always been easy to schedule and their work is top notch.

"Excellent experience! I had a backed up line, and Nick came out and did a thorough job. He explained the situation in laymen's terminology, showed me the issues via video, and solved the problem. I would definitely recommend him to others"

Ben's Plumbing is AWESOME! They are very responsive, very flexible, very communicative and great to work with! The team had great knowledge and provided suggestions over the phone to attempt to unclog a pipe. They were able to squeeze me into their schedule and it was great because they helped resolve an issue before it became a larger issue. Brian came out and helped provided some preventative support as well. Great, honest people and I recommend them 1000%!
